It seems like I saw something on the Discovery channel or the Geographic channel on pirates. The stated that NO pirate buried treasure has ever been found. Pirates more than likely spent it as fast as they got it. They were pirates. Why would they save it?

Has ANYONE ever found buried pirate treasure ANYWHERE?
No treasure has ever been reported to be found. The only authenticated treasure chest was once owned by Thomas Tew, It was empty. It is now kept at the Pirate Soul Museum in St Augustine, Florida.
